RE: [Mono-dev] DataTable Select string comparison patch Hi Konstantin , >>> 1. If one object is string = "5 " and the second object is Int32 = 5. >>> Will >>> the objects be equal? >> No, they won't even go into the "if" because o1 is string, but o2 is not >> string >That's right, but the question is what happens in MS .Net? Well, MS .NET (at least 2.0) treats '5' and int 5 as equal (in DataTable.Select). I guess it means that a string from int is created (or int from string) to compare objects. So it seems that object creation takes place anyway.

If we agree to string creation in one place I don't see reason not to agree to create another (trimmed). >And the last thing, the DataTable.Locale should be taken into account. I'm mostly interested in my "trimming" problem, because I need this to work. I don't want to go too far from it right now.
